Jul. 26, 2010

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn will be remembered at a viewing and a public funeral at a Las Vegas church.

The 73-year-old moderate Republican died Thursday after a fall from the roof of his Las Vegas home, where he was making repairs.

Visitation is set for 7 p.m. Monday, with the funeral set for 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Joseph Husband of Mary Catholic Church on West Sahara Avenue and Tenaya Way.

Guinn’s sons, Jeff Guinn and Steve Guinn, call the death of the popular two-term governor a shock to them and their mother, Dema Guinn. The couple celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary earlier this month.

The Clark County coroner has not ruled whether the cause of death was natural causes or an accident.
